Carrier pigeons are still faster than the internet, tested again this year to prove it

Ugh, why not work on keeping the emails encrypted on everyhopp?

I'd add you can get around this with a custom DNS server with DNSSEC

PSTPSTPST WHO'S THE BEST CAT IN THE WORLD? YOU ARE MR. SNUGGLESWORTH, YOU ARE

Did you build or find some yet?

The internet -in its current form of trackers, data miners, AI, and surveillance - is a huge resource drain on the environment. Yes, adding a consumer level AI is going to make it much worse

How often would you need to change the battery?

I like this, nice and simple

Hmmm, thanks for the thoughts. Any better mental frameworks for organization?

Dell gaming laptops are decent for the price and might get a discount if you have the preinstall Ubuntu (since you're not buying Windows)

The UX is nice and modern, better than iMessage and other messaging apps I've used. Scheduling messages, group chats allow people to come and go (mod approved) all seem more modern than other chat apps

Totally agree, but what about normies who don't know much or have a friend to help? Cyber security is such a deep well that even a professional doesn't know everything

Maybe it's becoming more like medicine, where everyone needs to know the basics but have professionals for guidance?

Totally, difficult but by no means impossible. I think we should be cautious and have less hubris when it comes to computer security, that was my point

Computers are inherently insecure

Some classes don't need to work, they hire others to invest their resources or can just live off their resources

Perfection

Together we can create our very own echo chambers!

This sounds fun
